April 1, 2018
April's sunshine allows for more than just a quick jaunt out of the house. Dust off those trusty old hiking boots and fill your backpack with healthy snacks. Ski season is nearing the end, and it's time to exercise your heart and lungs.
Spring is the season of renewal! Get ready to feel alive, strong, and free to roam wherever the unmarked paths take you!
Harrison has a great variety of hikes, strolls, and walks, from novice to experienced, and with no shortage of sites to explore. EASY: Spirit Trail -- more than an average walk! Enjoy the cedar trees that have been decorated with beautiful First Nation's masks by a local artist. BRING THE FAMILY: Hicks Lake Trail-- your kids have a bunch of energy to burn after winter hibernation. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy this 2-hour 'hike' with the littles. MEDIUM: Sandy Cove Trail (Whippoorwill Point) -- the first 150 meters are tough, but after that you are golden! The reward? A stellar view of Harrison Lake. HARD: Campbell River Trail (The Harrison Grind) -- Harrison's own version of the Grouse Grind, with a 700-meter ascent, this is a 3-5 hour hike that is designed for the experienced! DIFFICULT: Slollicum Peak -- Slollicum is a 1200 meter ascent with a remote 14k return hike, east of Harrison Lake Gravel Road. It's off the beaten path and gorgeous. |

You have worked up a sweat and are ready for a monster bowl of something satisfying. If you are after a pint, stop by The Old Settler Pub or Sandpiper Resort's Clubhouse.

Love the journey as much as the visit. |
